ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer
Radio ON/OFF Buttons
There is an ON and Off button for each radio that is installed or supported. When you first start
your ARMOR X10gx, all installed radios are ON or enabled (default condition). Each radio can
then be disabled by pressing its OFF button and re-enabled by pressing its ON button.
NOTE: Radios that are available but not installed appear here also and will not be grayed out.
Dock RF Switch
The Dock RF Sw button enables or disables the antenna configuration that is selected by the
Dock RF Mux switch. The initial setting for the Dock RF Sw is “Enable”. If the button is set to
“Disable”, the tablet will use its internal antennas.
Dock Power Switch
In earlier X10 series tablets, the 5 VDC power pins in the docking connector were always active
to ensure power to the docking stations. This is not necessary with the new X10gx docking
stations due to an automatic sensing circuit that turns off power to the docking connector
whenever the X10gx is undocked.
The initial setting for the Dock Power Sw is “Auto” to enable dock sensing. However, to use the
X10gx with some ARMOR legacy docks, the Dock Power Sw must be set to “Always On” (refer
to
Setting the X10gx for Power Operation with Legacy Docks).
Dock RF MUX Switch
Your X10gx contains an RF multiplexer circuit that is configured by the Dock RF Mux switch.
There are two RF coaxial docking connectors on the X10gx dock: one for an external WWAN
antenna and one for an external GPS antenna (see ARMOR X10gx Vehicle Docks
). Depending
on how it is configured, the RF multiplexer will automatically switch your GPS and/or WWAN
antennas to external antennas mounted on the vehicle whenever you dock the tablet.
You can select GPS only, WWAN only, or Both antennas. If only one external antenna is
selected, the other radio will operate on its internal antenna. The initial default setting for the
Dock RF MUX is “Both”.
Save Settings Button
Regardless of how you configure your radios and the Dock RF Switch during your session, they
will return to their default settings the next time you restart the computer unless you save your
settings using the Save Settings button.
Once you configure each radio and the RF switch to suit the way you normally use them (ON or
OFF), you can press the Save Settings button to save the current configuration as your new
default settings.
NOTE
If you exit ARMORutils completely or shut down your system with the
Radios ON/OFF Toggle set to OFF, this will be saved as the default setting
and the radios will all be off
the next time you start your computer.
